No question that all the connections take time!

No really if you cut and mark a custom snake. It's kinda like using memory locks.
E-kits are not acoustic drums. That's a good and a bad thing at the same time. It just depends what you want. If you wanna sound like acoustic drums then use acoustic drums. If you wanna sound like drums on recordings then use the electronic drums. makes that easy.
You sacrifice touch for a huge pallet of different sounds. Wanna carry 3 dozen snares, each tuned for a specific song? E-kits make that easy. Want dialed in sound in seconds? E-kits make that easy and it's very likely the sound through the mains will be much better, not to mention how much less it will impact the sound of the rest of the band. All those mics on an acoustic kit will likely diminish the sound quality of the rest of the band because of phase cancellations that are inevitable.
Yes, it takes a huge sound system to make then sound great. I think most people that don't like them mainly come tomthat dcision because they have never played an elite through a really great sound system.
In a lot of ways it's like acoustic guitars and acoustic guitars. They are different instruments with different outcomes. Each has its place.
